CSA include 3 T20Is to India women's tour of South Africa
Cricket South Africa has updated the schedule for the Indian women's cricket team tour to include three additional T20I matches. These games are intended to help both teams prepare for the upcoming Women's Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka.
Why it matters
The expansion of the tour highlights the growing importance of international women's cricket and strategic preparation for global tournaments.
The Cricket South Africa on Thursday (August 6, 2026) revised the schedule of India women’s team tour later this year to accommodate three T20Is in addition to a Test and three ODIs.
As per the revised itinerary, the one-off Test will be played from December 9-12 before the ODI series kicks in from December 16-22.
Now, the Indian team will spend an extra week in South Africa to play the T20I series between December 26 and 30.
The T20Is will be played at Benoni and Potchefstroom, which the CSA felt will give both the sides a good platform going into the inaugural Women's Champions Trophy, which will be played in Sri Lanka in February.
